Wow, that are some shrimp! They are huge! What type are they?

I'll keep my fingers crossed on the cories for you. I couldn't resist buying some mature, chunky cories as well today for 25 pesos each (around 2 dollars) :hyper:. They were sold as agasizzis but I think they are trilineatus.
 
I know :p :lol:

since I turned 40 I've decided to grow old disgracefully and to be a total bad influence to everyone :hyper:
You're doing a good job! :lol:

Nice cories; I have never seen them before. When it comes to cories I am completely weak; I just have to buy them....
Honestly, they looked like little tiny dalmations! :lol: just lovely...

you think I should get them Lu?


Just go get them already, they're not available anywhere near me & I'm jealous.

Haha, it's just the one shrimp. He won't tolerate any other shrimp in with him. He ate 4 amanos, numerous cherries, mts and another harmless macro shrimp before I separated him and his partner-in-crime to a tank in the garage where I was growing some emergent plants. Then he ate his partner in crime too. :lol:

I thought he'd get munched by the cichlids in my 240, but since putting him in there he's held his own, eaten all the mts, and 5 baby apple snails at about a cm big each. If any fish disappear I never find the bodies - he eats them too quick. He'll take bits of fish out of my hand. I'm actually quite fond of him, even with his murderous tendencies. I doubt I'll be able to rehome him.

He's currently sharing the bottom of the tank with a 2.5 inch bristlenose and a L047. I'm nervous about tiny cories though. If I put him upstairs he'll have a field day - I've tonnes of pest snails and mts in the biotope, which he'll make short work of. :rolleyes:

Depending on the outcome of the phonecall after I take the kids to school, I'll have a shuffle around of stock.
 
Maybe isolate the shrimp in a mesh divider, or to be even safer, an all round enclosure (with an opening to feed him)? Nice looking catfish, never seen this species before.
 
No discount, but they will hold them for me until midday tomorrow. :yahoo: :hyper:

Apparently there's also a single other one in there with them... lorecki or loreti or something :dunno: sounds awful but I really don't want a mismatch. Is that mean?

Now I just need to inform the manwife... :look:
 
No I wouldn't want a mismatch either :/
Glad it's not just me :friends:

I'm powering through my to do list today... just bought some heat packs for posting fish to other forum members, next is water changing :good:

(Side note: it's taken me 20 minutes to actually post this, as I've just been distracted by some serious wood... :drool: :lol: )
 
:rofl: someone has been a bad influence on you in other ways as well caz!
